Velocity of the ball (v) = 22.2 m/s
Distance from the base of the building where the ball falls (d) = 36.0m
We know that, Velocity (v) = distance (d) / time (t)
From the above equation,
Time (t) = distance (d) / velocity (v)
Substituting the values for distance and velocity in the above equation,
Time = 36.0/22.2 = 1.62 seconds

When the ball is falling down, it accelerates due to gravity
This acceleration (a) = 9.8 m/s²

Now we need to find the height of the building.
The equation of motion for an object with constant acceleration is,
s = ut + 1/2 at²
Where,
s = vertical displacement, which is height of the building in our case
u = initial velocity of the ball = 0

Substituting all the above values in the equation of motion,
s = (0 × 1.62) + (1/2 × 9.8 × 1.62²)
s = 0 + (25.72/2) = 12.86 m = 12.9 m which is the height of the building

Therefore the building is 12.9m tall

If half of the weight of a flatbed truck is supported by its two drive wheels, what is the maximum acceleration it can achieve o
Scilla [17]

Answer:

Maximum acceleration will be equal to 3.43m/sec^2

Explanation:

We have given coefficient of kinetic friction \mu _k=0.7

And coefficient of static friction \mu _s=1

Acceleration due to gravity g=9.8m/sec^2

When truck moves maximum force will be equal to F=\mu _kmg

It is given that half of the weight is supported by its drive wheels

So force required =\frac{\mu _kmg}{2}

From newtons law maximum acceleration will be equal to a=\frac{\frac{\mu _kmg}{2}}{m}=\frac{\mu _kg}{2}=\frac{0.7\times 9.8}{2}=3.43m/sec^2
